Android 6.0 Marshmallow is the next big update for Sony Xperia Z1
series and Z2. Google recently released Android Marshmallow operating
system on September 29th and also uploaded to AOSP on October 5th.
Earlier the search giant released 3 previews of Marshmallow and Sony
also released binary images of Android Marshmallow beta for Xperia Z1
series and Z2 devices. Some tech enthusiasts also made custom roms with
Android Marshmallow binary and installed them. Recently Sony also
released Android 6.0 Marshmallow final build binary files for Xperia Z1
series and Xperia Z2 series. So custom roms based on Marshmallow will be
available by the end of October.

Xperia Z2 is present in the Sony’s official Marshmallow upgrade list
but Xperia Z1 is not present. Some tech analysts are saying that Sony
may add Xperia Z1 series to the list later. Sony will start the building
Android 6.0 updates for Xperia Z2 device in October. Previously Sony
took a long time to rollout Android Lollipop update. This time Sony may
start the rollout quickly as there is no major UI changes in Marshmallow
compared to Lollipop. So the Japanese tech giant may start the rollout
of Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for Xperia Z2 series in December. Sony
will start the rollout of update with Baltic and Nordic countries and
then spread over the world in a few days

Android Marshmallow Update features

New App permissions is the major change coming with this update for
Xperia Z2 series. With new app permissions, users can more easily
install apps than previous android versions. Doze mode of Marshmallow is
also a remarkable feature of this update. Doze mode increases battery
standby time more effeciently than other battery savers. Marshmallow
update is coming with fingerprint sensor support. But this feature is
useless for Xperia Z2 users as these smart phones don’t have fingerprint
sensor. Automatic backup and restore of apps and app settings is also a
useful feature of Android Marshmallow. Android 6.0 has System UI tuner
feature to better manage quick settings toggles and status bar icons.
With this new System UI Tuner feature users can show battery percentage
embedded in the battery icon in the status bar. Users can also remove
and add tiles in Quick Settings menu. It also facilitates to manage
Status bar notifications better. User interface of Xperia Z2 also will
be changed slightly with Marshmallow update. New UI looks clean,
beautiful and also more user-friendly. Android 6.0 Marshmallow brought
new app menu design which deviates from previous Android versions. Up to
Android Lollipop all Android versions feature horizontally scrollable
app menu. But in Marshmallow Google introduced vertical app menu. The
App Menu appears much smooth and fast than previous app menus. Search
bar also comes with new app menu. So users can type in the search bar at
the top of app menu to find required app. Users can easily find the
required with search function in the new app menu. The Marshmallow app
menu also provides the list of recent of on the top of the menu. So
users can easily launch recently used apps. Google may improve this new
app menu in the next update to Marshmallow.
